To aZZ whom may come Be it known that L a citizen of the United Butte. in the county oi Gnrnn L. -AnnnasonQ States, residing at Silver Bow and State of Montana, have invented new and useful improvements in Separators,

which thetollowing is a specification.

This invention relates eparator for separatmg negative plates of storage batteries,

the invention being to principal object of provide a plurality of through which sediment bottom of the cell.

an improved posltive and the to the apertured strips may pass to the Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the separators with the chambers or spaces therein may be easily manufactured and assembled.

this invention h P on or reatures 0).

also consists in certain construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts. to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out claim.

in the appended several views. and in wh1ch:

r1 r= the ngure 1s a view showing the two portions of the separator before being assembled and showing how the separator may be formed.

As shown in the -drawing the separator consists of the two side vertically arranged strips plates 1 and the 2 which connect the two plates together and hold them in spaced relation,

said strips 2 being spaced apart to form vertical passages or chambers 3 through which the sediment or the negative and positive the bottom of the coming from plates will drop down to cell of the battery.

material The drawing forming part of this application shows the plates as being provided with perforations 6 and how the plates can be formed to facilitate assemblage.

This

figure shows each plate as being provided with the strips 2, these strips foeing so arranged that the strips 2" at plate can the edges of one be placed in contact with those at the edges of the other plate and secured together.

The intermediate strips are alternately arranged, as shown, to provide the spaces or chambers 3.

As will be understood one of these separators is placed between each pair or the battery plates so as to separate the negative plate from thrown off the positive plate. The material by such plates will pass through the passages or chambers'tormed by the strips ant battery.

lit is thought from the foregoing descrip l will drop upon the bottom of the tion that the advantages and novel features ortimy invention will be readily I desire it to be apparent. understood that it may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement out the several parts, provided that such 'hanges tall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A battery plate separator comprising side plates provided with arranged and connecting the 1 q tion, the end strip of each plate being ranged in contacting openings, vertically strips carried by each side plate arengagement and the intermediate strips being arranged alternatively and forming vertical chambers as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof, ll afiix my signature.
